You rather take a bus to NYC than the PATH train. I still find it interesting when I see Academy NJT Buses. But then I quickly realize how those leased buses could help with problems like a NABI on the 111 or some route where a NABI shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJokaPlaya Posted July 19, 2011 Share #21 Posted July 19, 2011 There's another individual that makes those signs. I don't know if he does, but hit up User R44 CNG and maybe he'll help you out. You're addicted to NJT when you try to know information to help other drivers when there's supposed to be supervisors that were supposed to do it for you. I still got my old PABT and GWB Bus Terminal sheets that I made to help passengers when I'm on break at PABT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZGuy Posted July 23, 2011 Share #25 Posted July 23, 2011 SO true I always AVOID buses that serve union city!!!!! Union City isn't bad when you have a B/O that's not afraid to push and shove. I don't mind it inbound to NYC at all because the bus usually make better time than staying on 495 even with the stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
